Just like Batman, this father is well-equipped to handle every situation. But he doesn’t use a bat belt, only sharp wit and an even sharper tongue.

In a world where big legends appear on small screens, this one drives a Honda.
No, not Ben Affleck, it’s mild-mannered Blake Wilson by day, who transforms into BatDad, also by day—appearing at a moment’s notice to solve whodunits such as “Where’s mommy?”
His deep voice echoes not just sarcasm but also a love for family. “It makes people laugh,” he says, “because, it’s … so … stupid!” broiling in character.
Catch him on Vine (https://vine.co/BatDad) chasing a school bus, encouraging seat belt usage, and giving tips to samaritans on the scourges of gingivitis and chewing with their mouths open.
He knows how great his power is—so great that it comes off as abrasive. But that gets things done and makes for great folly.
BatDad became a web star weeks after buying a mask and now has millions of followers. But he chose to reveal his true identity, heroically, as a millennial father of f0ur from Virginia, so we’d see he’s “just a normal dad.”
He’s not the hero we deserve, but he’s the one we need right now!
